"World of Rot" invites readers to take a deep dive into the process of decomposition, from the science behind it to a closer look at the organisms doing the heavy lifting to keep our planet hospitable. With a dose of humor and unique colorful illustrations, children will learn about the recycling system of life happening all around us - in the sea, on land, and even inside our own bodies. Profiles of decomposers like hungry fungi, familiar worms, poop-eating butterflies, and slimy banana slugs offer something to spark any child's curiosity. Readers will also learn about the heroic role decomposers can play in the fight against climate change and plastic consumption.
